For sure there is a portion of developers who don't care about the future, are not interested in current developements and just live as before hoping nothing will change. But the rest already gave it a try and realized tools like Claude Code can give excellent results for small codebases to fail miserably at more complex tasks with the net result being negative as you get a codebase you don't understand, with many subtle bugs and inconsistencies created over a few days you will need weeks to discover and fix.
This is a bit developer centric, I am much more impressed by the opportunities I see in consulting rather than applying LLMs to dev tasks. And I am still impressed by the code it can output eventhough we are still in the funny intern stage in this area.

I expect there'll be a lot of consulting work in the near future in cleanup and recovery from LLM-generated disasters.
